★ Stop-Motion Animation ★ Digital Media ★ Circus Education ★
Flip Book Presents is a stop-motion animation created to captivate and engage preschool circus arts students during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Teaching toddlers via Zoom proved challenging, as maintaining their attention was nearly impossible compared to fast-paced cartoons and TV shows. To address this, I designed this video to supplement our live-streamed classes, ensuring the kids stayed engaged and active.
The animation’s pacing mirrors an in-person game familiar to my students, encouraging them to move into various physical positions while learning essential terminology and techniques. This approach aimed to build foundational skills for future development. Additionally, parents had access to the video outside of class, allowing me to maintain a connection with my young students and providing parents with a valuable resource to entertain their children during the lockdown.
